the knights defeated, misunderstanding.
( I am gonna skip somethings like defeating the og knights(except the reaction to our shy blaze clone) and advance the plot cause... I just gotta begin... THE JUDGEMENT)
----------------
Sonic charges ahead only to see the heavy lance coming straight at his head, he ducked and deflected the lance to the side and continued on his offensive. Garith barely dodged Argus with a sidestep, Sonic took the moment of tension to swoop in with a spin kick, Garith's feet dragged across the ground before coming to a stop, he raised his lance again and gathered his Ki. Like a unbreakable spear he charged at Sonic who took on the blow head-on, the impact was stronger than anticipated and Sonic staggered a little, the moment was enough for Garith to impale Sonic with the lance.
???: Too slow.
Garith saw the afterimage of sonic desperse. Sensing hostility from behind, he used his heavy armor as a shield to parry the attack but the sword cut through, leaving a gaping wound on the shoulder, Garith didn't falter and used his fist to strike again but midway through the strike stopped, Sonic has the blade lifted and near his neck.
Garith: You are much stronger than me. *Plants the lance in the ground and kneels* I accept my defeat, my new king.
Sonic: And I accept.. through we should get the wound healed or treated atleast.
Garith: No need, my armor is part of my weapon,it can heal me and regenerate itself. Through I ask what blade is that?
Argus: Argus the severer. Nothing can stop my blade.
Garith: It will make good reputation that I survived a attack from you then.
Sonic: Pretty sure It will. Well bye I gotta go find the other knights.
Garith: Good luck, through I ask you to not kill That blockhead Gawain. He is just overreacts a lot.
Sonic: Fine then.
The rest of day was spent travelling across the massive kingdom, he meet Gawain first, he looked like Knuckles but more focused on something like Duty or honour, Sonic beat him down with Oberon Until he couldn't stand. The blockhead tried to kill himself with his own axe-sword weapon saying nonsense like I have failed you my king,Sonic beat him up again in annoyance and announced himself as the next king chosen by excalibur and showed him the sword. The blockhead relented and accepted defeat,Sonic had to carry him to a nearby village to get him treated, unlike the tanky Garith the blockhead Gawain was a berserker who gets Stronger as he gets injured.
Sonic then proceeds to a area where a dragon was supposed to be going rampant, he found it was no dragon but another wyvern and was actually trying to find it's child who ran away. Sonic realises that the wyvern he tamed was the one and had to fly it back from the marsh village to the wyvern mother. As he was returning, Sonic meet Lancelot the shadow clone in the forest, he was pretty decent and strategic compared to Gawain, his fighting style was speed focused and with his ability to attack with solidified energy along with good skill had Sonic slightly annoyed, so he just activated excalibur and lightspeed because he couldn't waste the whole day fighting him in a dodging competition.
Unlike Gawain, Lancelot had some decent knowledge in how Excalibur looks and instantly realises what it was, he accepted his defeat and avoided a beating down to the bone like Gawain since the duel was not a deathbattle. Sonic helped him take care of the aftermath of the wyvern's rampage and also saw abyssals for the first time. They looked like floating humanoid beings with dark crystal skin, red eyes and yellow pupils along with 2 horns on the forehead above the eyes. He ambushed them and slaughtered them before bidding farewell and leaving to find the last of the knights he could currently approach. He thought Percieval will be some young boy with a spear based on how the others talked about him. Garith called him a child,Gawain called annoying and Lancelot said fiery.
He went around all around the kingdom to the other side to find a volcano where percieval was supposed to be training,he slowly makes his way to the top until he saw a figure sitting near the edge of the volcano, a purple fur cat, with clothes made to help release heat. The cat was manipulating fire and lava out of the volcano and controlling it, as if training.
Sonic: Blaze? Did she come with Tails° and found this place midway? This place does come between the hole in barrier i made and the capital.
Sonic slowly walks forward but he gets ignored as the cat was too busy in her training.
Sonic: Hey there blaze,*puts his hand around her shoulder* Did you see someone called percieval arou-
The Cat looks at him stunned,blushes madly and jumps away with heavy breathing, her face burning red, she pulls out a rapier and points it at Sonic.
???: WHO THE HELL ARE YOU? HOW DARE YOU TOUCH ME?
Before Sonic could say anything the cat lunges at him ready to strike, that's when realisation hit him, Percieval was a alter version of blaze and he just got all casual with her. He tries to calm her down but nothing is gonna stop a aggressive cat who is panicking and has gone all crazy from shying embarrassment.
He dodged her barrage of attack from every single angle until she used a full force attack and broke away the part of the area they were standing at. They both fell down and Sonic had to use Caliburn to prevent them from falling in magma. He warps them both back up.
Sonic: Hey are you alright? th-
Sonic notices that he has grabbed percieval by the waist, she is burning hot from shyness and had buried herself in his arms with a purr.
Sonic: 'Not again. Why does fate keep throwing girls at me?' ( Cause I wanna >:) you ain't escaping the author and the fans, boy)
It took Sonic another hour to help Percieval get off him and another to clear out all the misunderstandings between them. She accepts her defeat despite no fighting and plead her allegiance to Sonic with no objection after she heard that Garith,Gawain and Lancelot had already plead themselves.
Sonic leaves for the capital.
Percieval: 'He doesn't look that bad...*slaps her face* Don't think about, he is the king while you are just a knight.. But just maybe*slaps her face again* No thinking, get back to the city.' ( [ '] this symbol means thoughts or telepathy if you are wondering. )
Meanwhile, Sonica is in her room cursing Sonic.
Sonica: He must be doing to it taunt me after he put that challenge up.*bites her nails* I will make sure to get back at you in full when the time is over.
